On September 11, 2001, two planes flew into the North and South twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City causing their eventual collapse.
It is still the only example of a steel reinforced structure collapsing due to fire, and it happened TWICE that day. A lesser known fact is that a third building also collapsed and it wasn’t even hit by a plane. It was WTC7, and much like the other two, we watched it free fall into its own footprint on live TV.
For me, this was my JFK. This was my country attacking itself in broad daylight although I didn’t know it at the time. Am I one of those “911 was an inside job” conspiracy theorists? Well, I don’t know, but some weird stuff sure was going on before the towers fell.
Larry Silverstein Insures the WTC for Billions
That’s not even the weird part. The policy covered terrorist attacks. I guess maybe it’s not so weird since the WTC was bombed in 1993.
Still, this dude made a lot of money when those buildings were destroyed.
Silverstein penned a lease for 99 years of WTC 1, 3, 4, and 5 in June 2001. He already owned WTC7.
After the tragedy, he took the insurance company to court claiming that he should be paid double because 2 separate terrorist events occurred. This doubled his insurance payout and he received around 4.5 billion for the whole shebang.
Maybe this is just a regular day for businessmen in NYC. I know ZERO about real estate in New York City.
Power Shut Down the Weekend Before 9/11
A former employee for the Fiduciary Trust Company International located on the 97th floor of the South Tower came forward. Scott Forbes said the power was shut off for 36 hours the weekend before 9/11.
Forbes said he hadn’t heard of anything like this happening since the original terror threat in 1993, and it apparently was a pretty big deal. The Port Authority relinquished control of the building for 36 hours and then the building was turned back over to the Port Authority to resume normal business.
Scott also observed workers he describes as “some kind of engineers” carrying toolboxes and cables. He said it was nothing out of the ordinary. Scott Forbes is not a conspiracy theorist and states the things he saw as face.
The 9/11 Commission and the New York Port Authority deny to this day that this power down ever took place.
WTC7 – An Obvious Controlled Demolition?
Even the most detailed 9/11 timelines do not include the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 which occurred at 5:20PM.
The controversy around this fact is:
- It’s often left out of the narrative.
- Larry Silverstein referred to the building’s collapse saying they just decided to “pull it” which is apparently a demolition term.
- The BBC was reporting that the building had collapsed while it was still standing in the background behind the reporter.
- The footage of the collapse shows the building free-falling into its own footprint.
This building wasn’t hit by an airplane. There were fires burning in the building for approximately 7 hours prior to its collapse and NIST says that was the direct result of the structural steel being weakened by fire.
University of Alaska Fairbanks Investigation
In 2019, students at the University of Alaska Fairbanks conducted an independently funded investigation that contradicts the official story regarding WTC7.
Their primary finding was that fire did not cause the collapse of WTC7. Their secondary finding was that there was a near-simultaneous failure of every steel column in the building.
You can read more about their study here. You can also download their final report at that link. It’s not a college paper, it’s a thorough report with diagrams and more detailing how and why they came to their conclusions.
The Two Strange Photographs That Spawned This Post
As you may or may not know, this Substack is the content arm of a collection of information. I go by Raider1 to maintain anonymity, but I’ve been a conspiracy theory buff long before it was taboo to say so.
My main jam is collecting and archiving information, specifically documents, images, and videos. I share it all via this Substack, the RadioRaider.com website, and as an incentive to subscribe so you receive my write-ups right to you inbox. I have a decent repository of documents and books in PDF format on a Google Drive and I shoot you the link to that when you sign up. So, if you’re not subscribed, get connected!
In my online travels, I acquire a lot of information. It’s up to you to discern for yourself what is BS and what isn’t. I can only do this for myself. My job is simply to be the messenger.
As a general rule, I don’t buy anything I can’t deduce from my own personal experience through seeing, hearing, and my other senses. Was 9/11 a conspiracy? I don’t know, but a lot of hokey things sure happened all at once and no emphasis was ever put on the truth when and if it did come out.
For example, the shoot-down orders. Especially for Flight 93 which was being tailed by at least two F-16s when it crashed in Shanksville, PA. VP Dick Cheney had a seek and destroy order for that plane. This wasn’t reported and certainly is not common knowledge. No one wants to think about the U.S. military needing to shoot down a civilian flight, but this is exactly what happens in the event of a hijacking that affects national security.
Alright, the photos…sorry for the tangent.
This photograph was taken before 9/11. It allegedly depicts a group of Israeli art students who removed a window from one twin tower to photograph the other and then replaced it.
It looks like this fellow in the foreground could be holding a camera (an insanely compact unit for 2001) and is wearing the harness as routine PPE against falls out the open window.
This image regularly circulates on Twitter:
Let’s talk about these boxes. BB18 is a part still available through Standard Electrical Supply Company for a Power Feed Lug. If they do hold fuses, they are ELECTRICAL fuses, not the type implied with this image which would be fuses for explosives. It’s not like they are for sale on ControlledDemolition.com.
DEBUNKED.
The second photo:
I also found this image on Twitter. This was supposed to done by the same art team, and happens to be where the plane stuck the building.
Basically, the uploader was saying the Israeli art team infiltrated by bomb experts was signing their work.
That seems to be a bit of stretch since this image was taken in March of 2001.
KINDA DEBUNKED
Theories Have a Long Way to Go to Be Facts
I saved these images because I’d never seen them before and it seemed interesting, but upon digging a little further, what I’ve found is that they’re pretty irrelevant.
There are much larger fish to fry in order to validate the exhaustive list of questions surrounding the events of 9/11. We didn’t talk about the war games that were going on that day or some of the odd phone calls that came in from the hijacked planes. We didn’t discuss the Pentagon or how legit organizations like Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth and Pilots for 9/11 Truth have many questions regarding the events of that day. We didn’t talk about the terrible air quality that was deemed safe which resulted in many first responders dying over the 2 decades since. We didn’t touch on the many questions of the families of people who died that day. There is SO MUCH.
Perhaps like the Gulf of Tonkin false flag being confirmed, or it coming to light that the FBI was behind the assassination of MLKJr. or that the CIA was behind the assassination of JFK, one day we’ll get an underreported admission of guilt for 9/11 as well.
Interrogare Omnia.
